Voriki is a self-proclaimed Toa of Energy who was last seen living on the Red Star.

Description[edit | edit source]

Voriki is a purple and gray-colored Toa with a body that resembles one of Artakha's trademark builds, having a thin frame accentuated with visible pistons and gears and no armor except for that which is already part of his body. He wears a Kanohi which resembles a star-shaped Pakari, Mask of Strength, but with four purple lightning bolts sticking out of each corner. He claims to be a Toa of Energy, and although Kakamu scoffed at the statement, Voriki demonstrated that he has the ability to create purple lightning, which worked as one of the six elements needed to free Kakamu from the Toa Seal he was trapped in.

History[edit | edit source]

Voriki's early life and history before his arrival on the Red Star is unknown, but it can be presumed that he arrived on the Red Star as a result of being killed in the Matoran Universe at some point prior to Blackout's takeover and destruction of the Matoran Universe in 100,080 CMT. Voriki had no knowledge of Blackout's usage of the Vahi Cube, implying that he had been caught in its effect or that he had already been sent to the Red Star by that point.[1]

By 150,084 CMT, Voriki had moved into a foundry along with many other Toa hiding from the station's hostile owners, the Kestora, and their servants, the Baterra, who had begun to harvest parts from the Toa stranded on the Red Star to replace the failing components of the aging station. Voriki waited with Taldaka in Gaaki's war room while Gaaki and Perseus fetched Kakamu, a former Toa-turned-biometal warrior new to the station whom Gaaki had received a vision of from her Mask of Clairvoyance. When Gaaki and Perseus arrived with Kakamu, who had been put in a Toa Seal as a precaution, Voriki combined his elemental powers with those of Gaaki, Perseus, Taldaka, Paluka, and Veriukii to free him. Voriki introduced himself to Kakamu as a legendary Toa of Energy, a statement which Kakamu scoffed at because he had never heard of a legend of Voriki nor a Toa of Energy, but he let it slide.[1]

When Kakamu mentioned that Blackout was still at large, Voriki confidently proclaimed that the Great Beings would stop him, being unaware of the Great Beings' failures in the Uterio War. In response, Kakamu explained that there were some forces that even the Great Beings could not defeat, such as Blackout, and Mazkertis, a human wizard who wanted to reshape history. Kakamu's explanation of Mazkertis was interrupted when Gaaki suddenly received a distressing vision from her Mask of Clairvoyance. Upon using telepathy to enter Gaaki's mind, Kakamu saw a vision of the future in which Mazkertis had visited the Red Star and cast a Twilight Storm to consume the souls of the inhabitants of the station. A mighty battle had occurred, during which Voriki had seemingly perished, being reduced to a clump of metal with only the electric bolts of his Kanohi to identify him.[1]

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Voriki is a character who was created in 2001 as a submission for the "Build Your Own Bionicle Website" competition ran by The LEGO Group. Rather than creating a website about the existing characters, user "bionicle7" made a website about his own character named Voriki, the Toa of Energy. An archived snapshot of the website can be viewed here. The pictures of Voriki, created by manipulating images of Tahu's body with Onua's mask, found their way onto Bionicle fansites where Voriki immediately became a popular subject of discussion due to some users mistaking him for a canon addition to the series' lore. Voriki has remained a popular character in the Bionicle community ever since.
